Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Insulation of a crawl space in Ham-Nord, Qc

Mr. Dallaire has lived in his house since years and started to notice that the humidity level in his house was very high and there were traces of mold in some areas of the place so he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, because he was no longer comfortable in his house and wanted to fix the situation quickly. Our team had completely isolated his crawl space thanks to our products. We had first installed our SilverGlo insulation panels on the crawl space walls.They installed a 3/4 inch TerraBlock insulation sheets and finalized the whole thing, with our CleanSpace membrane to cover and protect the Terrablock and thus provide an isolated and dry environment.
